Location
The retreat will be held in the Campus Center Auditorium, located on the 1st floor of the Lincoln Campus Center. The Campus Center, as well as the attached Campus Center Parking Garage, are located at 1 Campus Center Way in Amherst, MA 01003. Turn-by-turn directions from your location are available here, and a campus map is available here. Upon entering the Campus Center proceed through the 2nd floor concourse and take either the escalators (next to the Information Desk) or elevators (across from the Information Desk) down to the 1st floor. The Campus Center Auditorium is located at the base of the escalators on the right.
Parking
Campus Center Parking Garage ($6.50 or less for the day)
Discounted parking is available in the Campus Center Parking Garage, located at 1 Campus Center Way, Amherst, MA, 01003. Click here to obtain turn-by-turn directions to the Campus Center Parking Garage from your location. Parking coupons will be available at the retreat, offering attendees a discounted garage rate of $6.50 or less for the full day (depending on how long you parked). Upon entering the garage follow the "Hotel UMass/Campus Center" signs down to park on Level 2, where there is a flat walkway right into the Campus Center. If Level 2 has filled you may instead park on any level and use the Southeast or Northeast stairwells to access outdoor campus walkways down to the Campus Center. After entering the Campus Center proceed through the 2nd floor concourse and take the escalators or elevators down to the 1st floor Campus Center Auditorium (located at the base of the escalators on the right). When you arrive you will be provided with a discounted parking coupon. As you leave for the day, but before you get back to your car, stop at one of the pay stations (located on levels 2, 3 and 4 of the garage). Insert your gate ticket and, when prompted, scan the discounted parking coupon you were provided. Next, submit payment and wait for the machine to return your now validated gate ticket. Proceed back to your car and then drive to the garage exit (located on level 4), entering your validated gate ticket to raise the exit gate.
Surface Lot Parking (Complimentary)
Campus guests may park at a variety of surface lots around campus free of charge after 5 p.m. on Friday and throughout the weekend (no parking pass or coupon required). To take advantage of complimentary surface lot parking simply arrive at a valid lot anytime on Sunday, February 2 (taking care to allow for extra travel time to the Campus Center), and avoid any lots/spaces marked as 24-hour reserved or reserved for specific staff/vendors. Click here to view an interactive parking map and enter "Free Parking (On Weekends)" in the search bar to filter for complimentary surface lot parking options. Convenient options relatively close to the Campus Center include lot 65 (~7 minute walk), lot 30 (~6 minute walk) and lot 25 (~13 minute walk). Please note that these lots do require additional travel time to the Campus Center, and it may be confusing to navigate to the Campus Center from the lot. To ease your travel we recommend arriving early, having a campus map on you, and being familiar with the unique exterior of the Campus Center.
